Payroll Compliance Intelligence

Stop Payroll Errors Before They Become Grievances

Contract-as-Code transforms collective agreements into executable compliance rules and validates payroll calculations across Dayforce, Workday, ADP, UKG, SAP, and other payroll platforms.

Most payroll errors are not caused by payroll software. They are caused by complex collective agreements, configuration mistakes, and rule-interpretation challenges. Contract-as-Code identifies payroll compliance risks before they become costly disputes, grievances, overpayments, or underpayments.

An intelligent compliance layer

Contract-as-Code sits above your payroll system — it does not replace it.

  • Not a payroll system — your team keeps running payroll where they run it today.
  • Not a replacement for Dayforce, Workday, ADP, UKG, or SAP.
  • No rip-and-replace, no migration, no disruption to pay runs.
Contract-as-Code acts as an independent compliance layer that validates the calculations your payroll system already produces — catching rule-interpretation gaps before they reach an employee's paycheque.

The complexity problem

The hidden cost of payroll complexity

Payroll systems calculate what they're configured to calculate. Every collective agreement adds rules — and every rule interacts with the others. Complexity doesn't add up. It compounds.

Multiple collective agreements
Each with its own rule set
Overtime stacking rules
Daily, weekly, and consecutive-day
Shift premium rules
Evening, night, weekend differentials
Holiday calculations
Averaging and statutory entitlements
On-call premiums
Standby, call-back, and minimums
Scheduling exceptions
Split shifts, short notice, swaps

Rule interactions grow exponentially

A handful of agreements can produce thousands of rule-record combinations to validate every pay cycle — far beyond what manual spot-checks can reliably cover.

Your actual exposure depends on your specific agreements and payroll data, and every finding requires professional review.

The platform

How Contract-as-Code works

A transparent, four-step pipeline from agreement text to audit-ready findings — with a human decision at every consequential step.

01Step 01

Collective agreement ingestion

Explainable AI extracts contractual obligations — premiums, overtime stacking, on-call rules, holiday entitlements — directly from your agreement text, with every rule traced back to its source clause.

02Step 02

Rule generation

Each obligation becomes executable business logic your team reviews and approves. Nothing becomes an active rule without a human decision — keeping interpretation transparent and auditable.

03Step 03

Payroll validation

Payroll outputs from Dayforce, Workday, ADP, UKG, or SAP are tested against every approved rule, for every employee, every pay cycle — surfacing discrepancies your payroll system never flagged.

04Step 04

Compliance reporting

Actionable findings are generated with clause references, affected employees, and a full decision audit trail — ready for your payroll, labour relations, and audit teams.

These are illustrative examples of the categories of discrepancies Contract-as-Code surfaces. They are not based on a specific customer, and we never claim guaranteed savings — every finding requires review by a qualified payroll, HR, or labour relations professional before action.

An accountable compliance layer, not a black box

Built for unionized organizations

Designed around collective agreements, bargaining units, grievance risk, and multi-rule interplay — not generic payroll edge cases.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

What it is, what it isn't, and how your data is handled.

Does Contract-as-Code replace my payroll system?

No. Contract-as-Code is an independent compliance layer that validates the output your payroll system already produces — Dayforce, Workday, ADP, UKG, SAP, or another platform — against your collective agreements. Your team keeps running payroll exactly where they run it today. There is no migration and no rip-and-replace.

Is employee data sent to AI or to a third party?

No. Employee identifiers are SHA-256 hashed before any processing, and the AI rule-extraction step only ever sees collective agreement clause text — never employee names, identifiers, or pay data. Full details are on our Security page.

Which payroll platforms do you work with?

Any platform that can export a standard CSV — including Dayforce, Workday, ADP, UKG, and SAP. There is no integration project and no API key required; we validate against your existing exports.

Where is our data stored?

In your selected region. Canadian data resides in Google Cloud northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal); US, UK, and Australian data reside in their respective regional infrastructure. The region selector at the top of the site sets your legal context, currency, and data residency.

How does a payroll compliance assessment work?

We scope your workforce and agreements, validate a sample of your payroll against the rules in those agreements, and deliver a prioritised findings report — each finding traced to the specific clause and the affected records. We then walk you through it. Engagements are scoped to your organisation rather than sold by the seat.

Is this legal advice?

No. Contract-as-Code is decision-support tooling for HR, payroll, and labour relations teams. Findings indicate possible discrepancies for your team to review; they are not legal determinations. Every finding requires review by a qualified professional before action.

How accurate are the extracted rules?

Every extracted rule traces back to the exact clause and page it came from, and nothing becomes an active rule without a human review and approval decision. Interpretation stays transparent, reviewable, and under your control — never automatic.
